Abstract: Provided is a thermometer that is mounted on an engine incorporated in a vehicle and that measures the temperature of the engine during running of the vehicle. A temperature/resistance element included in the thermometer senses the temperature of the engine all the time. The sensed temperature is displayed on a display. Furthermore, a temperature warning indicator indicates whether the sensed temperature exceeds a warning set temperature. While monitoring the sensed temperature and temperature warning indication, a driver can accelerate the vehicle or shift the transmission gear so as to retain a load on the engine in an optimal state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for accumulating and delivering folded cardboard sheets which can provide a high production efficiency. The apparatus comprises at least a pair of stacking bases 24 and 26 being moveable along a loop, the loop including in its path a stacking position for stacking the cardboard sheets on the stacking bases and a delivering position for delivering the pile of the cardboard sheets formed on the stacking bases. The apparatus receives cardboard sheets 6 being fed one by one, accumulates them in the form of a pile consisting of a predetermined number of the cardboard sheets, and delivers the pile of the cardboard sheets. Wherein when one of the stacking bases 24 is moved away from the stacking position, the other one of the stacking bases 26 is moved into the stacking position in such a manner that the pair of stacking bases 24 and 26 are alternatively moved into the stacking position.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for detecting motion by a video encoder. The method starts with dividing a target block whose motion is to be detected into blocks at different pixel positions. A reference image block is extracted from a reference image. The degrees of similarity of the blocks to the reference image block are simultaneously calculated by a calculating unit. A block having the highest degree of similarity is determined, based on their degrees of similarity. A vector corresponding to the determined block is taken as a motion vector representing the block.

Abstract: A co-winding type thermal transfer sheet is constituted by forming on one surface side of a substrate film a heat-fusible ink layer comprising a pigment and a particulate binder, and causing a tracing paper to be peelably bonded onto the heat-fusible ink layer by the medium of an adhesive layer. The thus constituted co-winding type thermal transfer sheet is capable of providing an original image which can be reproduced by use of a blueprint process so as to provide blueprint images having a high precision and a high contrast. In addition, a co-winding type thermal transfer sheet may also be constituted by forming a heat-fusible ink layer on one surface side of a substrate film and causing a transparent resin sheet to be peelably bonded onto the heat-fusible ink layer by the medium of an adhesive layer containing a cross-linking agent. The thus constituted co-winding type thermal transfer sheet is capable of providing an image excellent in wear resistance on the transparent resin sheet.
